Comment on Outgoing British PM Starmer pushes IRGC terror label

Such a brain dead idea. The IRGC is a national military organization. If you start branding national militaries as terrorist organizations, and then start prosecuting members of those militaries on terrorism charges? Well that’s a two-way street. Pretty soon Iran will be putting captured British troops on trial for terrorism charges and holding them personally accountable for following the orders of their government.

The Americans should get designated as terrorists first under that logic. That’s like their entire thing

Britain is allowing the US to use its airbases to attack Iran. That sounds exactly like sponsoring proxy attacks on foreign soil.

Does the British government not send arms to genocidal colonial settler states? For the purpose of carrying out genocide?

Ah my bad, the British only lent their spy planes to tell the Israelis which civilians to target So different

An important difference, but doesn’t invalidate the point the previous poster made
